Tonight, Imogen Thomas looking quite formidable inspires us to take a quick peek at the strongest in Kansas City and remind Friday night readers who won this week . . .
Kansas City Citizen Initiative Petitioners Successfully Fight Crony Capitalism
Some call this SMACKDOWN of a controversial corporate tax break deal in the thriving Crossroads part of "populist fervor" sweeping the nation while others claim it represents direct Democracy in action. Either way, citizen initiative ended the week with a win and more consideration of City Hall's development-focused economic policy.
KCPD Chief Forté Stands Up For E-Tax And Earns Support From Top Politicos
Kansas City's top cop touted the E-tax in no uncertain terms this week and also earned backup from Mayor Sly after controversial firings.
Mike Sanders Still Connected To The County With Reportedly EPIC Contracts
Controversial work for a vaporware train powers this newly resigned politico into a new gig that irks more than a few Jackson County insiders.
Reports of Sickness Scare Kansas City
From norovirus to Zika . . . Good hand washing and careful restaurant selection has never been more important to Kansas City survival
Subway Crooks Take A Bite Out More Than A Half Dozen Soft Target Locations
So far, AT LEAST EIGHT KANSAS CITY SUBWAY SAMMY SHOPS HAVE BEEN ROBBED have been robbed in the metro and it looks like these crooks are still hungry for more . . . Locals should be on guard or consider ordering a significant other to make a sammich with a loving tone rather than a cruel demand.
As always, this list has been compiled according to scientific TKC polling and market research data and it's a weekly comprehensive guide to local powerful people.
I wouldn't call the chief a "power player" it seems like he's just following orders when he speaks of taxes and blight. Demolishing buildings and promoting taxes is not what police are paid to do.
ReplyDeleteMike made the right move. Look at the stock market, it's time to cash out. He's smarter than I thought he was.
ReplyDeleteYeah, 8:14 PD should have rights to address SAFETY & PROTECTION of the public. Blighted and filthy dump sites can breed disease AND disorder. Hidey holes for crime is what empty houses provide. The PD & FD shouldn't have to risk life and limb going into these dangerous blighted structures, either. There are sharp objects and feces in too many of the trash heaped rooms and weedy yards. That is recipe for very debilitating infections. IEDs in battlegrounds of Afghanistan are shit bombs. So, let our public servants worry about that danger added to all too many hazards already? First responders in fugitive pursuits or conducting any calls for service running into a dangerously rotting house is unnecessary. Should we allow PD and FD the avoidable risks of falling through roofs and floors in low value to worthless properties? The very worst need to be gone NOW--before injured city personnel cost resources that are much needed for serving the public.
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:19, is correct. These buildings must come down. If the owners abandon responsibility, then they also abandon 'property rights'. Tear them down & put the vacant lots on the market, cheap, so they will be bought by potential homeowners.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you care Byron isn't you town or your affair to even comment on it shit stain.
ReplyDeleteByron lives in places like this (or did). When you threaten me/us Byron I take it seriously ! Information is our friend !
ReplyDeleteAs soon as Vocational Rehab teaches coons how to make a sandwich this shit will stop.
ReplyDeleteThis weekly column is good as it just re-enforces how small minded people are here.
ReplyDeleteJust take a good look at that NIGGER Chief and it should make you feel really safe and secure.. Yeah, right.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Teresa Loar, she's racking up a string of victories at city hall because she's such a "strong woman" with such a "take no prisoners" attitude. Just look at her victories this week:
ReplyDelete1. She stopped the new airport in its tracks by getting a "free" bid from her buddy to upgrade the airport in a way that sacrifices all of the convenience and doesn't get any of the benefits of a new airports, all while managing to spend more money!
2. She sure showed that stinky ol' mayor who's boss by getting steamrolled in her attempt to block the City Manager's new contract (which passed unanimously...with a raise!)
3. She shepherded Local 42's contract through the council with her brains and cunning. Oh wait...
Does Chief Forte stand up for the employees of Subway on Westport Rd robbed at AK47 gun point? Doubt it. He is for that ETAX though.
ReplyDeleteApplause for that golden parachute! Bravo! How did he get that again? Counselor Stephen Nixon? How did Stephen Nixon become counselor? He threw the 2010 Rizzo Royster election to Rizzo. And How has John Rizzo been in office? John Rizzo has been quite the shit show everyone expected.
ReplyDeleteBest part taxpayers get to pay all of their pensions!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo Democrats! Bravo! Thanks for that poop sandwich.
You people all suck. You're the reason nobody votes.
